Was your instrument purchased from The Sydney String Center?YesNo

Our workshop offers services ranging from a simple string replacement to full restorations on violins, violas, cellos and double basses. Book an appointment to have your instrument assessed and we will give you a comprehensive guide to the necessary repairs. In most cases you will be required to leave the instrument to be assessed and one of our Luthiers will contact you by email with the results. For this service, a fee is charged which can be credited towards the overall cost of the completed repairs. *Please note – There may be some instances where we are unable to perform the work required on your instrument.
